Batting is a little past it and the fielding would be fairly horrible. Still think they'd struggle in somewhere like Australia.

so just australia...

 

[akilana]

That team would beat Aus Eng combination for sure.

 

[Faisal1985]

so just australia...

Hardly a contender against that monster...

 

[akilana]

Johnson is going downhill.

 

[akilana]

Pakistan with Yo and Yo has a good chance against England.

 

[Fusion]

Pakistan should move to England. Bowlers would average less than 10. So would the batsman though

But this is what Ponting did in Sydney and ended up winning the game...so with Pakistan...Ponting knows he can take risks of that magnitude... If by a miracle Pak manages to take a 100-150 run lead, then i think would be the right time to criticize Ponting for that decision.....he is trusting his bowlers at the moment..which is fair...

Yup, can't fault Ponting's decision myself. He knew he was facing Pakistan, a team they have a habit of defeating in their sleep. He thought he could take the risk, but just didn't anticipate this bad a collapse.

Just one Yo please...MYK

I have no time for the other one...

 

[Faisal1985]

Sweet.... we are in the lead.....

If only you checked their performances in the last few months:

Since start of 2009,

Sehwag 1214 runs @ 71
Tendulkar 1110 runs @ 74
Gambhir 974 runs @ 61
Dravid 948 @ 73
Laxman 721 @ 80
Dhoni 654 @ 82

Hardly figures suggestive of "over the hill" don't you think?

 

[pskov]

so just australia...

Notices which team currently holds the Ashes.

Notices which team has just been bowled out for 88.

Reckon South Africa/Sri Lanka would be pretty awesome

All's well that ends well.. I still favour Australia 70-30 to win this match..
I would hardly be suprised if at stumps tomorrow the match reads

Australia 88/10

Pakistan 156/10

Australia 280/3 (Katich 105*, Hussey 75*)

I know..especially considering how Sehwag and Tendulkar batted in Australia last time and how Aamer and Asif bowled in Australia last time..
I dont see how this team would struggle..

Ball is doing too much for Katich or Hussey to go that long....the only 3 players i have faith in is our bowling trio
